POsToFFICE DEPARTMENT,
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 30, 1887.
The attention of the department has been
invited by the officers of many railroad
companies to the Interstate commerce act,
with the inquiry how far these provisions
which they have deemed restrictive of free
travel affect persons or employees of the post
al service. The correspondence has almost
universally contained expressions of willing
ness to continue the facilities heretofore af
forded unless such course be in eontraven-
ton of law. In order to get the satisfactory
exposition of this point the opinion of the
Attorney General was solicited whether
there be anything in the act which prohibits
the practices heretofore prevailing. The At
torney Generals opinion, which has been
furnished to the press at length, is that the
Interstate act does not affect the postal
service, but is in regulation of commerce only.
No authoritative Interpretation relieves all
railroad companies employed in carrying the
mails from any risk Of a violation of the
statute by continuance of the courteous
methods of intercourse and business hereto
fore prevailing between the department and
railroad companies. 1t should perhaps be
added by way of information that the trans
portation given to inspectors upon the COM
mission of the department and to postal
clerks in the line of their duty is not free
travel, but by the law and regulations con-
stitutes part of the service paid for in the
mileagescompensation to railroad carriers.
Inspectors and postal clerks who may be re-
quired by any mail contractor to pay fare
when travelling on official duty will take
receipt for the same and report the facts to
the department that the amount may be de
Quoted from the carriers compensation ac-
cording to long established usage.

Postmaster General.

Hundreds of so-called diseases under vari-
GUS names are the result of indigestion and
when this one trouble is removed the others
vanish. The best known remedy for indi
gestion, according to thousands of testimon-
ials, is one that has been used in the United
States for more than fifty years-Brandreth's
Pills. These pills will cure the worst form
of indigestion or dyspepsia and by their use
the national disease is easily conquered.

MRS. POTTER MAKES HER DEBUT
But Fails to Capture the English
Critics..

LONDON, March 29.-Mrs. James Brown
Potter made her debut tonight at the Hay
market as Anne Sylvester in Wilkie Collins
"Man and Wife" Her performance was
fairly successful. The audience was chiefly
composed of friends and admirers of the lady
and their applause was freely bestowed upon
the debutante in and out of season. Among
those present were the Prince of Wales, Lord
Dunraven, Lord Elcho, Mr.. Charles Phelps,
Mr.. w. H. White, Lady Colin
Campbell and Oscar Wild. Most of
the critics assert that Mrs. Pot
ter's voice is metallic and unsympathetic
and characterize her performance generally
that of an amateur. Mrs. Potter said to a
representative of the press after the per-
Torrance that she had taken the stage per-
manently and stated that she was to receive
$50, 900 for the series of performances for
which she was engaged. She expressed her
self as charmed with England and delighted
with English audiences. Mrs. Potter moves
in that circle of society known the Prince
of Wales set and this fact has been given
due prominence in calling attention to her
debut.

The Knotty Problem That Confrents
The Chemung Statesman.
NEW YORK, March 29.-The Mail and Ex-
press, the leading Republican evening paper
of the city, prints long article claiming to
give the true inwardness of the Brooklyn
Investigation which has been going on for
Hill in Peril' it says
s'The special legislative committee investi
eating the corruption in the various public
departments in Kings county has determined
that District Attorney Ridgway ought to be
removed. The committee considers that
Ridgway's own testimony shows that he
wifully violated the law in order to retain
the friendship of New York and Kings
county gamblers and that the additional
is sufficient to render him liable
to successful prosecution. Ridgway
was a prime factor in Hills canvass during
the gubernatorial campaign. All the facts
in the case will be put in form for the in
formation OF the legislature and the Gov
ernor. A majority, if not all the committee,
is determined that Hill shall decide upon
Ridgway's case and upon the facts presented
remove him from Office. If Governor Hill
does not do so, articles of impeachment will
be drawn up and the Governor will have to
answer before the Senate. This has actually
Deen Qebermlneu upon uoG only Dy d majority
of the committee, but by najority of the
members of the Senate. Hill will have to
decide at once between the safety of his Off
cial head and his regard Tor the eight votes
of Kings county in the next ma
tional convention. Judge Green, one
of the ablest Democrats in the
legislature, is said to have al
ready communicated this to the Chemung
statesman Hill will probably decide in ia
vor of his own head. Kings county's dele
cation is doubtful anyway. Hugh McLaugh-
Ian, the boss of the Brooklyn Democrats, is a
sphinx. Cleveland has given him his man
for internal revenue collector. He has given
him his man for United States district attor-
ney. He has given him his man for inspector
of federal buildings. He has given him
patronage in tbs navy yard and may round
up the record by giving him his man for
United States marshal. Looking at these
events Hill may make up his mind to place
Ridgway's head on the political chopper. One
thing the committee has decided upon for a
certainty and that is that Ridgway or Hill
will have to 90, ;"

expresses the feeling of many victims of
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciati-a and nervous

so-called remedies and physicians of all
schools, without relief, there seems to be no
hope. Many such have as a last resort tried
Athlophoros; and to their surprise and joy
have found that it was safe, sure and quick

thousands have been cured by its use and
they testify as to its value.

OFFICIAL INFORMATION
Concerning the American EIectr
Dividend.

COncefnhAS the american Electric
Dividend.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Considerable an
noyance has been caused to the officers of the
American Electric company in this city lately
by brokers and others asking about the next
quarterly dividend. Some of the "bear"
brokers have within few days been indus
trious in circulating the rumor that no divi-
dend would be declared this quarter, there
fore the inquiries have been pouring into the
ofice1 of the company from all over New
England. BY letter and telegraph, asking for
information: President Golf was seen this
morning, and upon this rumor being repeat
ed to him became quite angry andtsaid he
had heard enough of this kind of nonsense.
He said the directors declared a quarterly
dividend January IL last, payable February
3, and at the same time added the semi
official statement that similar dividends
would be declared and paid every three
months thereafter, as the business of the
company now fully warranted their doing SO.
The statement was further made that it was
only question of time when the profits on
the business would allow considerable in
crease IN dividends. Over 5000 shares have
changed hands within a few days and been
changed from small holders into the hands
of strong financial men who are buying for
investment. The next quarterly dividend
will be declared at next meeting of directors.

TIFF1N, o., March 29.-Mrs. Rosanna
Dennis, wife of Hartman Dennis, who died
December 80, 1870, was taken up at the city
burying ground today and removed to
Greenlawn cemetery. When the body was
exhumed it was found in complete state of
petrifaction with the exception of the feet.
The deceased had been clothed in black
silk dress which was still in good state of
preservation. The coffin, however, was al
most decayed. The deceased was large
woman and the full outlines OF the body had
been preserved. So heavy had it become
that it took the united efforts of ten men to
remove it from its resting place. While this
was being accomplished small piece of the
body was unavoidably chopped off, which is
| in the possession of Undertaken Kishler. It
has all the appearance of hard finty lime
